What Is Connection and How Do I Use It i...

MICHELLE KENNEY, M. ED
About this episode

Let me share a secret with you about connection, it's not about more time; it's about making every moment count. Today on the Peace and Parenting podcast I delve into the magic of connection. What is it, really? It's not about sacrificing every second or dodging boundaries. It's about building a holistic relationship with room for mess-ups and repair. It's about creating a safe space where mistakes are part of the journey, not the end of it. 


Plus, I have an exciting invitation for you! Join my 30-day challenge starting soon, where we'll navigate the nuances of connected parenting together. Let's make 2024 the year we embrace a lifestyle steeped in genuine connection.
